Or you can use the quick soak method which is to pre-cook them in the pressure cooker before adding to your recipe for further cooking. Simply rinse and pick out any broken or discolored beans, for every 1 cup of beans add 4 cups of water and a teaspoon of salt to the cooking pot, this prevents the beans from splitting. -
